It's possible, but only if they use Readdle's PDF Expert. It supports the buttonImportIcon JavaScript method, which prompts the user to take a picture or select an image that's available on their device.

Thanks

I've put the app on the IPad, but still don't get the option to insert a picture. Does it matter if the form is created in acrobat 9 or am I just missing something?

You have to set up a button on the form, give it an Icon Only layout, and add the following JavaScript to the Mouse Up event:

// Mouse Up script for a button

event.target.buttonImportIcon();

You will also want to set up the icon's scaling options to suit your needs. The size of the button will determine the extents of the image on the page.
